100
Residual

e=y-(y-hat)

or e=observed-predicted

100

A residual that is negative

What is an overestimation?

100

a) What is the probability a randomly selected game is released on a home console. 

703/912~0.77

100

Randomly select 100 students, each having the same chance of being selected.

Simple Random Sampling

100

A pie chart can be used with this type of data

Categorical

200

Researcher impose treatments and controls in this type of study

Experiment

200

A correlation coefficient of 0.75

What is a moderately strong, positive linear relationship. 

200

c) What is the probability that a randomly selected game is released for a home console AND is not considered a role-playing game?

640/912~0.702

200

Combining multiple sampling methods.

Multi-stage sampling

200

A histogram can be used with this type of data

Quantitative

300

Researchers observe characteristics and take measurements in this type of study

Observational study

300

A coefficient of determination of 0.32 

Approximately 32% of the variation in the response is explained by the regression model using the predictor. 

300

d) What is the probability a randomly selected game is released on a handheld or is a role-playing game? 

(63+31+178)/912~0.298

(94+209-31)/912~0.298

1-(640/912)~0.298

300

Every 15th student that enters the building in the morning is selected and asked.

Systematic Sampling

300

This type of plot should be used to display two quantitative variables

Scatterplot

400

Sensitivity

# of true positives / # of those with the condition (sick)

400

A y-intercept of 1.2

When x=0, the predicted mean y is 1.2

400

e) What is the probability a randomly selected game is a role-playing game, given that it is released on a handheld device?

31/209~0.148

400

Randomly sample 2 Homerooms from the list of all Homerooms. Ask all students in each room.

Cluster Sampling

400

This type of plot should be used to display two categorical variables 

Contingency table


Comparative bar plot


Stacked bar plot

2147483647

Specificity

# of true negatives / # of those who do NOT have the condition (healthy)

2147483647

A slope value of -5.8

For every additional one unit increase in x, the predicted mean y will decrease by 5.8 units. 

2147483647

f) Are the events "Handheld" and "Role-Playing" independent? 

No, NOT independent. 

**Make sure you show your work with a mathematical argument**

2147483647

Divide the student body into 2 groups, Males and Females. We will randomly sample 50 students from the Males, randomly sample 50 students from the Females.

Stratified Sampling

2147483647

This type of plot should be used to display one quantitative and one categorical variables

Comparative boxplot

Comparative histogram

Comparative dotplot

Comparative stem-and-leaf plot
